Is your White name in the Seisint Matrix "potential terrorist" database?

This story is getting a lot of play. Drudge has it on his frontpage. I apologize for the seeming complexity of details. The fact is, if you do a number of innocuous things, such as enter certain search terms into google- you just might be on the list.http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:x...s+online&hl=en

NEW YORK (AP) - Before helping to launch the criminal information project known as Matrix, http://www.iir.com/IIR_projects.htmhttp://www.matrix-at.org/a database contractor gave U.S. and Florida authorities the names of 120,000 people who showed a statistical likelihood of being terrorists - sparking some investigations and arrests.

...However, new details about Seisint's development of the "terrorism quotient," including the revelation that authorities apparently acted on the list of 120,000, are renewing privacy activists' suspicions about Matrix's potential power.http://www.line56.com/directory/comp...&CategoryID=12

in the Matrix project.
Public records obtained by The Associated Press from several states show that Justice Department officials cited the scoring technology in appointing Seisint sole contractor on the federally funded, $12 million project.

The Matrix is operated by a private company, Seisint Inc. of Boca Raton, Florida. The company stores the system’s data on its premises (in a room sealed by “biometric locks”), where it is maintained by employees of Seisint and “watched over” by Florida police. Ironically, Hank Asher, the company’s founder who first brought the idea for The Matrix to Florida officials two years ago, resigned from the company after information about his own past came to light: he had admitted to being a drug smuggler in 1982, and according to Florida police, had piloted multiple planeloads of cocaine from Colombia to the United States.
